What should we call Chad?

It’s getting harder and harder for eccentric athletes/actors to get noticed. Take Chad Johnson, for example.

Chad is a receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, and a good one. He is also an immature, unstable egomaniac, as proved by countless episodes and outbursts.

In his latest stunt, he legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco. In case your Spanish is rusty, ocho cinco means “eight five.” Not “eighty five,” which is his uniform number, and which he is what he means, but “eight five.”

Now charming Chad gets to display “Ocho Cinco” on the back of his jersey.

I think he should have legally changed his last name to something else. Something like:

1) Moron

2) Loser

3) Immature, unstable egomaniac. (OK, that's too long for the back of the jersey, so forget that one.)

Good grief; is it any wonder that fans turn to high school or college sports to get away from spoiled brats like that?

Yeah, okay, sure but what about the corruption in the high school chess clubs, and the millions and millions of tax dollars spent on college and pro chess, hah?
